    Jumbo-Visma Rules the Road with Pedal Power and Moxie

    Cycling aficionados tend, much less than, say, football fans, to follow the exploits of individual cyclists, rather than teams. The reason is obvious: football teams have community followings that don’t end when a fan moves to another city or country. A fan of the Chelsea…

    Will 2023 Be Another Big Year for Remco Evenepoel?

    What is the 2022 Vélo d’Or winner, Remco Evenepoel, up to? He has already said that his Grand Tour race for 2023 will be the Giro d’Italia, presumably because he does not feel ready to face past Tour de France winners Tadej Pogačar, Jonas Vingegaard…

    My Personal Highlights of the 2022 Season by Matt Stephens

    I think it’s fair to say that from whatever perspective you look back upon the 2022 cycling season, the general consensus, distilled into one word, would be along the lines of ‘superb’, ‘outstanding’, ‘historic’  or ‘explosive.’ Whatever one word you would choose to sum up…

    Cycling Is Changing but Spanish Futility Continues

    This has been another exciting and turbulent year of Grand Tour racing, with a new generation of very strong young riders signalling a seismic generational change. But there has been no change to another aspect of top-level cycling: the continuing futility of Spanish riders on…
